i mean infantry actively scanning area. FB says at least one battalion . Well let's see how it develops. Surely killing all saouteurs would have nice effect on next volunteers from ukroreich side.
Killing them will stop them mounting a second attack, but I rather doubt the Orcs mention to their volunteers about their chances of succeeding let alone their survival chances.
They already mentioned soldiers not given small arms till they reach the front line area... which suggests they don't trust them very much already.
There is supposed to be a new grain deal.
Erdogan wants a new grain deal because like Syrian oil stolen by the US Turkey makes a good profit on it, but Putin has already been pretty clear about what the west needs to do to restart the grain deal and they are not even close.
This conflict has generated bad blood that will take 2 or 3 generations to subside. As long as Ukraine exists Russia will always have an enemy looking over it's backyard fence waiting for an opportunity to strike
The Orcs turned against the Russians decades ago, with very little obvious prompting, but then it was never unanimous and right now the anti Russian Ukrainians are getting to show their hatred for Russia by dying in large numbers. They are taking the odd Russian soldier with them which obviously is bad, but the idea that Russia talks to these loonies and sort out some sort of deal is infinitely worse for Russia... ironically it would make good sense for Kiev but lack of good sense is how we got here in the first place.
All Poroshenko or Zelensky had to do was follow the Minsk agreements and all they would have lost was the Crimea. Now they are losing four more regions... probably more.
Some of you may die, but it's a risk I am willing to take
That is what the Americans and EU have been saying about both sides in this conflict.
The orcs got a choice and are idiots, but Russians were not really given any choice at all.
Zelensky is now demanding US Ballistic missiles, Yanks have said no and pointed out to Ukraine they don't make them enough quantities, i think the Yanks know if they did supply them then there will be big mushrooms throughout NATzO land
The irony is that ballistic weapons are easier to detect and shoot down than low flying aircraft and drones.
It is the reason cruise missiles fly very low instead of very high.
Are we going to see a major frontline shift in the near future or is Russia still grinding down Ukrainian suicide attacks?
Couldn't it be both?
Russia appears to have the numbers to attack in several places at once which is going to become more and more of a problem for Kiev as their numbers are being spread rather thinly and shifting forces around burns up fuel and exposes the moving forces to drone attacks and helicopter attacks.
Pretty sure Russia has all its eyes in the sky, and in space, surveying around Robotino and other hotspots of fighting at the moment - w/o having to rely on the reports of some David Axe in whatever neocon publication
Probably makes western reporters feel a bit more relevant to think they are having an effect and that the Russians look to them for information on the conflict, but equally would be nice to hear David Axe getting the Assange treatment...
